To all whome'tmay concern."

Be it known that I, Gnoncn Bnassrrnnn TAYLOR, of 9 Brunswick Street, Belfast, Ireland, have invented certainnew and useful ImprovementsRelating to Boxes, Folders, and like Containers, of which the fol lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to boxes, folders and like containers such for example as are boxes, foldersand containers of this class I are usually thrown away when the articles have been taken out of same.

Under my invention I provide a calendar or the like and attach it to one end of the lid or top of the box, folder or like container by ribbon or other flexible connecting means,

so that the calendar or the like can be folded under the lid or top of the box or under the top of the folder when the lid is on the box, or the top is folded down, to enclose the goods. At the oppositeend of the'box' lid, or folder top, I providev a ribbon or equivalent means for hanging up the same on a nail or the like. The arrangement is such that the box lid or folder top, as the case may be, in addition to serving its ordinary purpose also provides a decorative calendar or the like for hanging up on a wall and is adapted for advertising purposes. In the case of a folder top it may be so connected with the other portion of the folder as to be readily'detachable therefrom when. desired. i

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings whereon'z- I Fig. 1 is an isometric view of a box lid or top ribbon folded in. Fig. 2 shows the box lid or top and'in use as a calendar. I

Fig. 3 is an isometric view showing the invention applied to a folder as used for containing articles and goods, such as handkerchiefs, and the like, the calendar and hung up the hanging ribbon being shown folded in.

Fig. 4 is an isometric view showingthe folder in use as a calendar.- v
